VENTAJAS

Mach 20+ speed and maneuvering glide renders current missile defense ineffective
Plasma cloud during flight masks heat signature from IR sensors
Can execute lateral maneuvers to avoid interceptors
Nuclear deterrent effect independent of missile defense developments
Operational since December 2019 — not a future concept

DESVENTAJAS

Only 6 known deployed — very limited operational stockpile
Uses modified SS-19 which is nearing end of service life
Glide phase velocity decelerates to Mach 5 — potentially interceptable by future systems
Extremely expensive per unit — cannot be produced in large quantities
Strategic instability concern — lowers nuclear use threshold
